Was wondering why the theatre in Phantom had a chapel then came to the realization I performed four musicals in a church sanctuary.

Really hope the shield helicarrier is one of @PalmerLuckey 's hyperfixations

This perspective ignores the basic fact that your existence and accomplishments are your ancestors legacy even if you know nothing about them.

The point of leaving a legacy is the legacy itself, not getting credit for it

[َ @PARABOLIT]

"Building a legacy" is cringe. Over the last 200 years, it took roughly 2,000 ancestors to get you here. You have 8 great grand parents and you won't even know each of their names. You don't know your grand fathers greatest achievement or his life story. All those people and you inherited nothing. Your great grand kids won't know who you are and won't care that much. They won't experience you until you're old and done, if you're lucky. All you have is here and now, everything else is a psyop to either generate fear or anxiety.

Men will cope with "building a legacy" by working so much they never see their kids and leave a gaping hole in their hearts, just so that their grandchildren won't care about what they did.

Crazy.

The dark knight and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

This pushback against the LANTERNS is absolutely absurd. As a lifelong comic fan...how can you not be intrigued by a "real world" presentation of these characters?

Can't help but think this particular image was released for a reason, probably 28 of them

In an image released by the White House, Vice President JD Vance and several Cabinet Secretaries monitor today’s strike campaign against Iran, Operation Epic Fury, from the Situation Room, while President Trump and other administration officials oversee operations from his Mar-a-Lago Resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

On the recent shooting. I have watched as many videos as I can find.

Here are some thoughts (pls read all, not just one point):

1) There is a reason I was critical of politicians who encouraged bystanders to confront ICE agents. I correctly predicted it would lead to dangerous situations where people would get hurt. It’s not something responsible leaders should be doing.

2) Each incident must be judged individually. Each incident is also tragic because at least one life is lost and others will be affected for years to come.

But the question for each case is whether lethal force was justified. Whether it was justified in this case is not related to whether it was justified in the previous cases. I personally believe, based on the evidence I have seen, that use of force was justified in the Renee Goode incident. There are people who disagree in good faith, but many seem to be deciding their view based exclusively on whether they support or oppose this administration’s enforcement efforts.

That’s not productive.

I am not as convinced in this case that lethal force was justified, but believe it will heavily rely on the surrounding evidence.

The person who was shot was clearly interfering with ICE and detaining him would have been justified. But the key question becomes whether he was a threat at the time he was shot.

He did have a gun, which alone does not make him a threat. But it did create a situation where force could be justified if officers think he is going for the gun as part of his effort to resist arrest/fight back or if he tried to grab one of their guns.

However, some video seems to suggest he was disarmed before the shots were fired. Multiple agents were attempting to subdue him and he was definitely resisting, but whether he had access to a gun and posed a threat of using it becomes a key relevant fact.

Of course the agent who fired may have mistakenly thought he still had it and was trying to reach for it. None of this is easy because it’s a dangerous situation where armed agents are making life/death calls in a chaotic environment. But they are also trained for that very reason. And they do not/should not have free rein to use lethal force based on a mistaken assumption.

There should be a full investigation and it should be independent.

In addition, adults need to step in and lower the temperature to stop the violence. ICE enforcement is absolutely necessary, but the strategies need to be rethought to avoid such confrontations. Local law enforcement has to start doing their jobs and local officials need to start working with the federal government if they want to avoid more chaos. Those encouraging others to confront ICE agents doing their jobs need to stop. Or more people will get hurt.

We need adults to stay acting responsibly.

The MCU has actually become a perfect adaptation of the Marvel comics, in that they both love to walk back on any interesting changes they made to the status quo out of fear of being rejected by the general audience

Love all the Americans reacting like this

[Jamie Bambrick @j_bambrick]

My dear American friends,

We British Christians would get excited when, once a year, Queen Elizabeth would make a mild but sincere reference to the love of Jesus Christ in her Christmas address.

In Charlie Kirks' Memorial service, watched by tens of millions, I just heard:
- Multiple clear presentations of the gospel from men like @robmccoyus and @DrFrankTurek with clear calls to repentance and faith
- Worship songs full of Scripture sung by tens of thousands live and millions at home
- Personal testimonies of lives transformed by the work of Christ and the witness of believers
- Demonstration and explanation of the value of marriage, child-rearing and family
- Calls to Romans 13 for the government to bear the sword for the protection of good and punishment of the wicked
- Declarations of spiritual warfare on the forces of evil and promises to endure no matter the cost
- Calls to be prophets and call the nation to repent
- More Scripture references and Bible readings than I can count
- And a widow publicly forgiving her husband's killer because Christ forgave his killers on the cross.

All of it done before, and by, the most powerful people in your nation and the world.

You guys should be on your knees thanking God for your country. It is a light to the world.

Never stop fighting for it.
